Rudy

Rudy is a Judy array implementation in Rust. Judy arrays are highly efficient word-to-word or word-to-bool maps that adapt well to different data. The reference Judy array implementation provides a word to word map (JudyL), set of words (Judy1), string to word (JudySL) and fixed length byte array to word map (JudyHS). Judy arrays use a compressed 256-radix trie.

The initial Rudy implementation will implement JudyL as RudyMap and Judy1 as RudySet. Because zero sized types can be represented by a RudyMap, it will be trivial to represent RudySet as a wrapper around a RudyMap

Differences between Judy and Rudy

Rudy appears to be the first implementation to use generics in the core library. The judy-template bindings for C++ allow for automatic conversion to and from words, but not use of values that need larger storage. Using generics allows for lower memory usage for smaller types and the usage of larger types, with possible impact to performance.
